WSOP Main Event thread, NVG style - Page 22 - Poker News

They are back up; no updates yet though:

"Server Woes

We apologize for the technical difficulties over the last half hour or so. The huge traffic load had our servers on the ropes for a while, and they finally decided to throw in the towel and surrender right as the last break hit. We're back in business now though, so get your reading glasses back on and prepare for a blizzard of updates."

Well it's only fair that ESPN get to hog the action as their sponsorship has added so much cash to the prize pool and...

Oh hang on a minute, I might have got that wrong.

I didn't know Ivey was at the feature table. That should be sweet when it airs on ESPN.

Main Event Bubble!
Two players were eliminated during the last hand, and we are now squarely on the money bubble. The number of players remaining sits at 649.

Looks like Kelly Kim 150k, Peter Eastgate 250k, Dennis Phillips 570k (if you can believe Poker News chipcounts).

Underdogs have won the ME the last what, 7 years? I'd love to see a pro take it down this year.

Ivey IS the underdog to win the main event, compared to a field of 6500 entrants... or at least 50/50

I think many feel we had plenty of underdog's win, time for some known pro's to take it down. In the end it still more likely that a no name win's it.

Are you being serious ?? thats like asking me to cheer for the opposing team when i watch my fav teams play . I thought it was standard knowledge to cheer for someone you like and followed for a certain period of time.
